Gateway to past regrets
I thought that I had matured enought to have the strenght within me To look and accept reality I thought I could look into the eyes of past and accept that it has passed Old camera i haven’t picked up in months is my only gateway to past regrets and memmories Vision blured with tears I can’t get past...

sometimes
Sometimes I fail, Sometimes I rot. Sometimes the weight consumes me, Sometimes it’s just a dot. I've found the courage to give up, But never the strength to ask why. Sometimes I know the truth too well, Yet sometimes—I lie. Sometimes the path is clear, Sometimes it’s all undone. Sometimes I try to speak, But the words choke on my tongue. Words are meant to be spoken, Let...

Quite a cumbersome ball and chain; Regrets are best left in the past. They engender headache and pain. Quite a cumbersome ball and chain. Don't keep them; there's nothing to gain. The sting of regret never lasts. Quite a cumbersome ball and chain; Regrets are best left in the past. ...

No regrets left
Are we living our life to the fullest? Or just covering layer between society. Days are less to take time out of saddest, No friends, no family then just plant a tree. Have great company all the time! Then why to show the world? That you are having nice sip of wine, Just creating delusion in your twirl. You are not present at...

beneath forgotten stars
Beneath Forgotten Stars In wakeful hours, I drink my thoughts, Letting mind and heart entwine in fraught Reflections of forgotten dreams, And roads that vanished with the streams. Regrets envelop me like a warm blanket, Comforting yet suffocating, a heavy burden to bear. Memories of what could have been, Haunt me still, like whispers in the wind. What if I...

Have you got a Grimore of Light Filled with Dark Regrets
A voice whispered at 1 am. As I sit alone at the worn gates of Yesterday Looking through the Past's White painted windows Unafraid Lost in deep thoughts as I watch once lost memories Drive past like a new presidential JFK motorcade Looking closely at the happy and sad games We once played You and me Eventually Holding...

No Regrets
Written By: D. Collins 11/22/24 I have no regrets on once being here. An accepted passion on doing what I did. I feel good about being in my own skin. Proud of what I’ve done and where I’ve been. I did God’s will by spreading His seed. A boy from Compton grew up to be me. And, there’s not a moment...

Premium Member Shortfalls on the Long-Haul
In long-haul dreams, we set our sights far-off on distant shores, Assuming that each step, each choice, each twist, will open doors, Will keep us heading steadfastly ahead, right on course! Yet time reveals the dead-weight drag of our remorse. Looking back on the shortfalls, on the litter of regrets stowed As keepsakes to repay, all the time-wasters, for ransom...

Unfinished Business
Unfinished business, it's causing me distress, A connection so strong, yet full of stress. Speaking through glances, so hard, I’m dead, Harder because I can’t get through to your head. If only I had been a little braver, I could have made "something" into a matter. Even if your heart belonged to another, It’s your love that I am after. But now it's...

The Empty Scrolls of Time: A lament for the Unlearned (The boy who regrets not valuing education) ~Jamuel Yaw Asare Kofi’s eyes once gleamed with mischief and wonder, but now they dimly reflect the what-ifs and if-onlys that haunt him.
